Last night it was like 750 or so on Green IIRC (fluctuated up and down through the hours of course).



Eh, it depends on where you go. If you're in the standard Blue leveling highway, then sure you can find groups (although I haven't seen many yard groups in Unrest). It's becoming tough to find groups off the beaten path now though; much harder to find a solid one in Befallen lately, Karana bandits are hit or miss, no one at BB Chessboard anymore or at the Bandit/Gob camps there besides soloers who don't want to take anyone else on, Derv and Orc Camps are usually empty, Highpass is about 50/50 (sometimes less) whether there will be a group there or not, etc. If your definition of great population is being able to almost always find groups only in the ZEM highway zones + Oasis, then sure it's great. But I think one of the big draws of a fresh server was seeing groups out in the world like the old days, which doesn't happen anymore with great frequency now that the pop has sunk.

I think people have just outleveled all the places you’ve named. I don’t think repopulating newbie zones is worth jamming all 1k characters above level 30 into half a dozen zones.

(Yes, I’m exaggerating.)

Welcome to Blue... I mean Green.

You already stated the solution: Merging servers will ensure under 30 zones are populated by merging.

Can't say that makes a lot of sense.

Here's my claim: low population leveling zones result in it being difficult for the server to get new people or sustain it's population.

My proof will come in about... A month, month and a half when Teal's peak population dips below Blue.

If March comes and it has not happened I'll admit you're correct and most people currently playing are there for late game stuff, but if Teal's peak population dips below Blue I want you to admit that Teal is solidly dying.

Deal?


Edit: I also decided to check what % of the population is over 30, and it is not a vast majority of the population on Teal. At the moment of 517 players on Teal 252, or just under half, are between 30 and 50.
